quiet winter landscape captured in handcrafted Japanese ceramic.
Handcrafted in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan, this elegant pair of yunomi tea cups is the work of celebrated ceramic artist Kobayashi Atsumi.
The design features delicate white branching forms flowing across a soft blue-grey glaze, reminiscent of winter trees illuminated against a quiet evening sky. The contrast between the cool upper glaze and the earthy iron-rich clay base creates depth, warmth, and a strong connection to nature—an enduring theme in Japanese ceramic art.
Each cup is individually crafted and glazed by hand, making every pair subtly unique. The forms are balanced and comfortable to hold, designed for daily tea rituals while retaining the artistic presence of a gallery-quality ceramic work.
Presented in a signed wooden collector's box, this set is equally suited for personal enjoyment, gifting, or display within a curated collection of Japanese pottery.
Whether shared over sencha, hojicha, genmaicha, or simply admired as functional art, these yunomi embody the Japanese belief that beauty should be experienced in everyday life.
About Japanese Yunomi
A yunomi is a traditional Japanese tea cup intended for everyday tea drinking. Unlike formal tea ceremony bowls, yunomi are designed to bring craftsmanship and mindfulness into daily rituals.
The gentle curves, natural glaze transitions, and hand-finished details encourage a deeper appreciation of both tea and the artisan who created the vessel.
